An Introduction to IDS
by Paul Innella

Intrusion detection systems, or IDSs, have become an important component
in the Security Officer's toolbox. However, many security experts are
still in the dark about IDS, unsure about what IDS tools do, how to use
them, or why they must. This article will offer a brief overview of
intrusion detection systems, including: a description of what IDSs are,
the functions they serve, the two primary types of IDS, and the different
methods of intrusion detection that they may employ.

Another nice article from SecurityFocus newsletter describing the future of IDS.
